I fear I'm nearly alone in my insistence on 2.2 compatibility;
unfortunately, there is no more recent python packaged for
Debian stable systems (and 2.1 is still default there!).  If we
start requiring more recent python, I will have a very annoying
time working around the packaging system to use it... (and/or
figuring out how to backport and package a more recent python
from testing/unstable).
